Description:
I run an Online Sports Card website, where we do what's called a live Break and we also sell Hobby boxes, Hobby Packs, and single cards. Everything that we sell, except singles is opened live on Camera. When people buy into my Live Breaks they buy a team or teams and the. Once all teams are sold we open a case or cases and whatever comes out for that specific team gets shipped to person who bought that team. Not all teams hit in a break, but no matter what they keep coming back for more because it's addictive. There is a very high margin for profit, all I need to get is enough money to have the right amount of product and also have enough money to continue to buy new product on release days. I could go through tons of cases on release day if they were available I just haven't had the money to make that happen. In the 8 months I have been going at this I have made a lot of friends and loyal customers along with enough money to keep this thing going, but trying to raise a family and run this takes a lot so I am looking for some funding help to make sure this idea can continue. There have been some days where I have over 5000 grand go through my PayPal, so I know the potential is there I just need that little push for me and one lucky investor to make some good money.
